HostAP / WPA supplicant 'conversation'

[Sergio NNX]

Thanks Antonio for your 'pronto' response.

I've never used pastebin service before, so this may not work. This is the url I got from pastebin:

                                                   http://pastebin.com/v6U6Gy9p

It shows two logs: hostapd log & wpa_supplicant log.

I've sent two emails to this list and both of them are 'awaiting moderator approval'.

The idea behind is that I want to test some applications (e.g. wpa_cli, hostapd_cli, TNC, etc) and/or some functionality (e.g. some EAP methods) and I understood that I had to start: a) hostapd and b) wpa_supplicant in order to achieve that. But I may be wrong, since I'm new to this technology.

If the AP and STA cannot be run on the same box, is there any way around this?

Thanks for time and answers/pointers.

Ciao.

Sergio.
